Thanks to the Honorary Rangers for organising this site so we could donate some cash and we could do our bit to help. It makes us feel better knowing we have helped a little to the staff who always make our stay so pleasant....

The problem I often face in using my credit card on a SA site, is that it is automatically blocked. This is due to the credit card company's fraud alert system. This then requires a call to the company, and then redoing the transaction and hoping it goes through. PayPal circumvents these issues as it is a local transaction for us and doesn't involve the foreign transaction fraud issue.

I will try the GivenGain system a little later to see if I can donate.

ThanksJanine

Janine and Judki,I have found that American Express transactions (to South Africa) NEVER go through without numerous phone calls to the fraud division, but my VISA card seems to always sail through without a glitch. I just used the GivenGain site and it was quick and painless and seems to have gone through.
